Summer opportunities

Thought I'd make you aware of a few summer research opportunities:

Nebraska Summer research program. UNL has a particularly strong program in magnetic materials and devices.

Boston University summer research program in biophotonics. They have a rather new center for biophotonics, and BU is located in the heart of Boston.

University of Massachusetts/Amherst. Program in cellular engineering.

Northwestern university. Research areas include ceramics, polymers, nanocomposites, photonics, nanoparticles, molecular electronics and biomaterials.
